Campus Air Strip—Today

The campus air strip is currently unused and overgrown, and can only be accessed from the existing RV parking or the campus’s walking and cycling trail. Better integration of the air strip as an amenity within the broader campus mobility and open space system has the potential to enhance campus and community access to natural areas of the campus, accommodate beautiful views of the campus grounds, and support game day events.

With its proximity to the football stadium, the existing RV parking serves game day visitors well but needs additional capacity. Further expansion of RV parking with a new lot connected to the stadium would help to meet demand for game day events.

The air strip also contains significant potential to accommodate additional game day parking. The introduction of a direct path from the air strip along the existing earthen dam could support new parking in this area.
